by Jill Austen on 02/07/15

Happy belated end of week 5, we're already in week 6! This week's milestone is that I packed my studio in a tote bag and took The 365 Series on the road. Here's what my pared down studio consisted of:

1 bottle purple ink

1 small tube cobalt blue acrylic

3 brushes

3 graphite pencils

2 charcoal pencils

1 large eraser

Set of 24 hard pastels

Set of 12 medium pastels

A random selection of my favorite Sennelier? soft pastels

Masking tape

Spray fixative

Scissors

A sketch book

3 sheets of 16x16 watercolor paper.

So much for traveling light!
